OptiBac 'For your cholesterol'

Live cultures and Omega 3 to support the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels

Contains 1.2 billion live cultures from the Lactobacillus plantarum species, and
alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) capsules, a type of Omega 3 that has been shown to maintain normal
cholesterol

Has undergone numerous clinical trials and is scientifically proven to survive through stomach acidity to
reach the gut alive

Safe to take alongside statins or cholesterol-lowering medication and has no risk of undesirable
side effects

Does not require refrigeration, contrary to some other live culture supplements

Suitable for women during pregnancy and is also certified gluten free for those with coeliac disease or

British Heart Foundation statistics reveal that 60% of the UK adult population have high cholesterol.
'For your cholesterol' has been created especially for those seeking to support the maintenance of
normal cholesterol levels. It contains clinically trialled strains of natural bacteria, as well as
alpha linolenic acid (ALA), a type of
Omega 3 shown to maintain normal cholesterol levels. Suggested for daily use, each hard capsule provides
1.2 billion live microorganisms that will survive through stomach acidity and is guaranteed
until end of expiry.

This supplement also contains high quality friendly bacteria. For best results take this product for a minimum
of three months. It can safely be taken on an ongoing basis with no risk of undesirable side effects.

Clinically trialled and tested

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has undergone numerous clinical trials demonstrating its efficacy at helping to
maintain normal cholesterol levels, and the ability of this particular omega 3 (ALA) to support health has
been validated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Our high-quality ALA is sourced from cold pressed
virgin flax seed oil. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2g of alpha-linolenic acid as
part of a balanced diet.

The very specific live cultures in this supplement ('AB-Life' Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7527,
Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7528, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7529) have undergone a
randomised, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial which was published in the British Journal of
Nutrition in May 2013. What's more these strains from OptiBac have been tested and shown to survive
environmental stressors and gastric acidity, to survive to reach the gut alive.

It is important to note that this supplement, unlike many other live cultures products, does not require
refrigeration due to improvements in freeze drying techniques and the strains within the product that are
naturally robust to survive harsher conditions.

Available in one pack size of 2 x 30 capsules. Each hard capsule provides a count of over
1.2 billion natural bacteria. Each soft capsule provides 300mg of ALA (omega 3).

This is a food supplement and it is not intended to prevent, treat, nor diagnose any medical conditions.

I have a complicated health history of high cholesterol. Please remember a few months with an unhealthy diet will not enable you. This product worked because I took it as I should take it, a healthy diet and the right kind of exercise (very gentle) and over time it worked. I worked hard and stuck with it - first noticing regular bowl movements, which is why I started taking them. Thank you OptiBac,

I had my cholesterol measured in October 2015. In March, my cholesterol readings had dropped. Whilst levels are still very high, my doctor was pleased that the level has come down and is happy for me to continue with the probiotics and lifestyle changes to see if it reduces further.
